Elon Musk Is Turning Into Bill Gates

Dec 19, 2023

This episode is all about billionaires and philanthropy. Peter from Team Futurism argues that Elon Musk isn't turning into Howard Hughes (as many have speculated); instead, he's turning into Bill Gates. This view is based on an article he recently wrote for Merion West: “What Elon Musk and Bill Gates Have in Common.”

Also...there's plenty to say about Jeff Bezos and why he might just be the optimal billionaire. In this respect, we respond to a tweet by Sai Medi, in which says of Bezos:

This is the optimal billionaire. Not starting creepy NGOs, think tanks, vaccine funds or calling for open borders. No moralizing or poasting about politics. Just running his businesses while looking like a GTA character on his yatch with his girlfriend(s?) and living his best life.
